Sew up a flirty flower skirt!
Just take a little inspiration from the Michael Kors Collection – Spring 2015 ready-to-wear line.
MAKE IT:
- Think tone-on-tone color palette for this project. You only need two additional things for the detail shown here: several single stem silk flowers and buttons or beads for their centers.
- Pull the stacks of flower petal disks off of a few stems and pin in a single layer onto your skirt, spreading them about evenly. If you need more, repeat with the remaining stems.
- Once you’ve got them pinned, you can sew them in place along the centers by hand (or use your machine equipped with a free-motion sewing foot), leaving the petals free.
- Cut small circles of interfacing or remnant fabric to use as a backing for each flower center embellishment (on the inside of your skirt). Sew on your buttons or beads to cover the centers and stitching, catching the backing material.
OPTION:
Do you dare make the centers contrast with the tones of the flowered skirt? It’s an easy way to work it with the accessories in your wardrobe!
